Influence vs Manipulation

We want to be the kind of mothers Elder Ballard talked about when he said “There is nothing in this world as personal, as nurturing, or as life changing as the influence of a righteous woman.”

“Mothers and Daughters” by Elder M Russell Ballard

But I’ve observed that sometimes, in our zeal to help the people we love, we accidentally cross the line from righteous influence to trying to manipulate or control others.

In this episode we will talk about the principles of righteous influence, and how to recognize when we are trying to manipulate others.

I refer many times to the talk “The Music of the Gospel” by Wilford W. Andersen.
